URI is the acronym for Uniform Resource Indicator. In this context, it refers to a resource indicator for Artists, Tracks, Playlists, etc. For example, if you want to make sure that your new single is accurately included in a playlist on release day, sharing your Track URI makes this process quick and easy.
Although we tend you associate the URI code with Spotify, Apple Music also offers a resource indicator that works in a similar way, aka Apple IDs. In a few steps, we’ll explain how to access URI on Spotify.
There are several types of URI available on Spotify, and this will depend on whether you want to use your Artist profile, Track, or Album as an identifiable resource. Note, that these steps are only applicable to the App version.
1. Head over to your Artist profile/Track/Album/Playlist
2. Click on the vertical ellipsis **(⋮)** and select “Share” from the drop-down menu.
3. Press and hold CTRL.
4. Click on “Copy Spotify URI”.
No, you’re not alone. At one point or another, we’ve all asked the question, “What is the difference between a Spotify URI and a URL? Although they both serve the same purpose, URIs are usually preferred by NFT platforms. What’s more, the ways to access them are also a bit different.
